Annual report 2008 - No. 1 in Modern Energy with wind power at the top of the energy agenda

Vestas continued its growth in 2008 with the biggest fourth quarter ever - a
revenue of EUR 2,481m with an EBIT margin of 15.4 per cent compared to a
revenue of EUR 1,884m and an EBIT margin of 12.3 per cent in fourth quarter
2007. Total revenue in 2008 rose to EUR 6,035m from EUR 4,861m in 2007. At the
same time, EBIT margin increased to 11.1 per cent from 9.1 per cent the year
before From the end of 2007 to the end of 2008, net working capital rose by EUR
367m to EUR 299m equivalent to 5 per cent of revenue. The increase is due to
increased stocks and receivables. The latter is due to the large shipments at
the end of the year. Cash flow from operations amounted to EUR 277m against EUR
701 in 2007. The growth in Vestas' underlying profitability is expected to
continue in 2009, however, at a lower rate than realised during the last three
years.
